Poem by Unknown - "I Love You Lord, But"

I LOVE YOU LORD BUT
    Don’t count on me!

“I love Thy church, O God,
Her walls before thee stand.”
But please excuse my absence, Lord,
This bed is simply grand.

“A charge to keep I have
A God to glorify.”
But Lord expect no cash from me,
Thy glory comes too high.

“Am I a soldier of the Cross
A follower of the Lamb?”
Yes, though I seldom pray,
I still insist I am.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?”
No! Others, Lord should do their part,
But please don’t count on me.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him all creatures here below.”
Load my hymns of praise I bring,
Because it doesn’t cost to sing.
